Cats use the nose to smell food, locate a mate, establish territorial lines and many other things. When the cat’s nostrils are wide open that means that there is a potential threat somewhere close. However, I am afraid, that with such owner near him all the time, the cat will not be able to sense anything. At least, if he does not change socks!

Just check out the cat’s reaction after he sniffs the owner’s feet. I think he has never smelled something more terrible than that.
